Product Description
Whiteside Machine Company has been in the router bit business for over 30
years providing customer with quality products while at the same time striving
to achieve complete customer satisfaction. Several woodworking magazines have
tested Whiteside versus the competition and selected Whiteside as the winner
for best router bits available in the market. Whiteside Machine Company was
founded in 1970 as a general purpose machine shop in the basement of Bill &
Bobbie Whiteside's home. Located in Western North Carolina near the furniture
manufacturing town of Hickory, the company was often involved in making
repairs or special parts for the furniture and woodworking field. A strong
commitment to customer problem-solving, a can-do attitude, and innovative
ideas, along with a growing core of dedicated employees, helped the business
evolve into a manufacturer of woodworking equipment and tooling. Primarily
through repeat business and referrals, the tooling business continued to grow
to meet a demand for quality production router bits as well as custom
application tooling. Today, Whiteside Machine occupies a 40,000 sq. ft.
manufacturing facility and produces a complete line of solid carbide and
carbide tipped router bits. Whiteside's quality, innovation, and customer
commitment is still present in our superb product line, in the design of
custom tooling to fill special customer requirements, and in the development
of special machinery and tooling for our own manufacturing use. As always,
Whiteside Machine is continuously striving to improve our product through new
technology, improved production techniques, and ongoing research and
development efforts; along with rigid quality control, vital customer feedback
and extensive field testing.
